  2. Click on the “Applications” button. Select Tiny-Veeam from the list and click Edit.

  3. Select the Disable application processing radio button. Click OK. And then click OK again.

    Tiny-Veeam is a linux VM so it does not have VSS framework on it, therefore we choose to disable application-aware image processing for this VM.

  4. Click Test Now and watch the test complete. Notice that Tiny-Veeam fails guest credentials. That’s to be expected and is ok.

  5. Click Close as the testing completes.

  6. Click Next to proceed.
